Okazaki-City Higashi Park Maple Festival

Higashi Park dresses in its best autumn colors
Higashi Park is home to around 1,500 maples and is the largest spot for enjoying the fall colors in the city of Okazaki. During the maple festival period, the park is lit up at night for a different atmosphere than that during the day.
The view from Ukimi Hall and harmony of the leaves and their reflection off the water are definitely worth seeing!
